Really unfortunate news given how hard he worked to come back after the blood clot in record time. Hope he can have a good recovery.

Going to be some tough decisions this summer for the Bucks.

Given Dame is likely out all next year and they haven’t played all that great even with him you have to think the offseason starts with them seeing if Giannis still wants to stay.

You’re basically going to go into next season planning on the 2nd round being your absolute ceiling and Dame has a player option the year after as well so you won’t have cap space for awhile.

They don’t have control of their own pick until like 2031 and won’t have any cap space to make moves outside of trades and I don’t know how much you can really get when you’re mostly minimum deals outside of Portis and Kuzma.

I know Giannis has said he’ll stay as long as their contending but it’s pretty clear that’s not going to be happening so it may be mutually beneficial for both him and the bucks to look for a trade this offseason as much as it pains me to say that as a fan of the Bucks.
